The Jane D’arcy Bonner Scholarship in Business

The Jane D’arcy Bonner Scholarship in Business was established at The University of Akron in April 2018 by Dr. Susan C. Hanlon and her husband, Mr. William K. Hanlon. This annual scholarship honors the memory of their granddaughter, Jane D’arcy Bonner, and will be used to support undergraduate students enrolled in the College of Business Administration (CBA) pursuing any business major.

Dr. and Mr. Hanlon feel that supporting CBA students is a fitting tribute honoring Jane’s spirit and life. The Jane D’arcy Bonner Scholarship in Business will help students reduce their financial challenges while they work to successfully complete their degree at UA.

Dr. Hanlon joined UA in 1990 as an assistant professor in the College of Business Administration’s Department of Management. She became assistant dean of the CBA in 2009 and has served as associate dean since 2016. Mr. Hanlon holds a master’s degree in business administration from UA and is COO & Executive Vice President of Peoples Services, Inc.

Candidates for The Jane D’arcy Bonner Scholarship in Business must be enrolled in the UA College of Business Administration. Applicants must be in good standing in the CBA and may be enrolled full or part-time in any business major. Recipient selection will be made by the CBA Scholarship Committee based on the aforementioned criteria.
